Question:

Table 3 contains information about the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. The linear regression model for the data is C = 360 + 2.04t where C is the concentration (in parts per million) of carbon dioxide and t is the time in years with t = 0 corresponding to the year 1995.

(A) Interpret the slope of the regression line as a rate of change.

(B) Use the regression model to predict the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere in 2025.

Table 3 Atmospheric Concentration of CO2 (parts per million) 1995 361 2000 2005 2010 370 380 390 2015 402
